Default Fp3 on 114 breakout

Hi all. I picked up a 114 that has the big radius exhaust on it with the stock high flow air. Do these bikes still need the fuel tuner?

I have a Bassani RR 2-1 and SE Heavy Breather.... I did the tuner just to be on the safe side and to complete the stage 1 lol.

With that being said,.. If it only has the exhaust upgraded no need for the tuner.

Yeah don't get the FP3, For a similar price you can get the much better and much more powerful Power Vision.

Default Stock Hi Flow Air Filter

Not sure what a stock hi flow air filter is, but if you want to take full advantage of an actual high flow air filter and slip on exhaust you need a tuner I’ve been running an FP-3 tuner for a couples years and it works well. It has a zillion maps you can use,!or you can build your own, or you can manipulate one of theirs, or they will create a custom map for you - all from your cell phone app. There’s also a real time fine-tuning function you can run that records your actual riding/fueling history and adjusts the map accordingly. Works well for me (and a lot of other people.

FP3 is a decent device, but as others have mentioned, the Power Vision is the defacto standard on tuners and if you're going to spend the money, why not get the best?

From another post regarding the 114’s air filter

2018 Softail xxxx 114's with the open ventilator looking type air filter, do NOT NEED to be replaced with a "stage x" A/C


That’s why I referred to it as a stock high flow.

Get it from fuel moto. They have decent canned maps for what you are doing right now. If you decide to bump up in cam or CI, then you don't have to buy a new tuner when you get it dynoed.
